Changing Smiles and Transforming Lives
Root canal therapy can be considered as an advanced procedure
to save a tooth which a number of years ago would have been extracted.
Our dentists have an interest in this
type of care and accepts referrals from local practices for these
treatments.
Root Canal Therapy is normally required when a tooth has died,
usually as a result of a large amount of previous decay or trauma.
The typical symptoms are pain and swelling which unless treated
will get worse and is known as an abscess. By using very fine
and flexible instruments and magnification, the narrow canal
inside the teeth can be cleaned of all infected material and
shaped to accept a plastic based filling material. Once the canal
system has sealed, a permanent restoration can be placed on top.
